Matthew 21
1 Ke Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos apkuranyang nu Jerusalem, elos tuku nu Bethphage, su oan sisken Fineol Olive. Ke elos muta we, Jesus el supwala luo sin mwet tumal lutlut in som meet lukeltal,
And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 ac pa inge ma el sap eltal in oru: “Komtal som nu in siti srisrik se ma oan meeto, na ke komtal ac utyak, komtal ac konauk soko donkey ma kapir oan we, su oasr soko natu tu siskal. Tulala ac use kewa nu yuruk.
Saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose [them], and bring [them] to me.
3 Ac kutena mwet fin kaskas nu sumtal, komtal fah fahk, ‘Leum el enenaltal,’ na el ac sa na in fuhleltalma.”
And if any [man] shall say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them.
4 Ma inge orek tuh in akpwayei kas lun mwet palu su fahk,
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 “Fahkang nu sin siti Zion, Liye, tokosra lom el tuku nu yurum! El inse pusisel, ac muta fin soko donkey, Aok, fin natu soko ah.”
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 Ouinge mwet tumal lutlut luo ah som ac oru oana ma Jesus El fahk nu seltal.
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 Eltal use donkey soko ac ma fusr soko natul, ac filiya nuknuk laltal nu facltal, na Jesus el sroang ac muta fac.
And brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
8 Sie un mwet na lulap elos laknelik nuknuk lalos inkanek uh, ac kutu mwet uh pakela lesak ac sang lohala inkanek uh.
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed [them] in the way.
9 Mwet su fahsr meet liki Jesus, ac elos su fahsr tokol, elos nukewa wowoyak ac fahk, “Kaksakin Wen nutin David! God Elan akinsewowoye el su tuku Inen Leum! Kaksakin God!”
And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 Ke Jesus el utyak nu Jerusalem, mwet nukewa in siti uh wonak, ac elos asiyuki, “Su mwet se inge?”
And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 Ac u se ma welul Jesus ah fahk, “El inge Jesus, mwet palu su tuku liki Nazareth in Galilee.”
And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Jesus el utyak nu in Tempul ac luselosyak nukewa su kuka ac moul in Tempul uh. El topkakunla tepu lun mwet ayaol mani uh, ac oayapa mwe muta lalos su kukakin wule uh,
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
13 ac el fahk nu selos, “Simla in Ma Simusla lah God El fahk, ‘Tempul luk ac fah pangpang iwen pre,’ a kowos oru nien wikla lun mwet pisrapasr!”
And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 Mwet kun ac mwet sukapas elos tuku nu yorol in Tempul, ac el akkeyalosla.
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 Mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos arulana kasrkusrak ke elos liye orekma wolana ma el oru inge, ac ke tulik uh wowoyak in Tempul ac fahk, “Kaksakin Wen nutin David!”
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were greatly displeased,
16 Na elos siyuk sin Jesus, “Ku kom lohng ma elos fahk inge?” Na Jesus el fahk, “Aok, nga lohng. Ya kowos soenna riti Ma Simusla? Fahk mu, ‘O God, kom loteang nu sin tulik srisrik ac tulik fusr in etu in oru kaksak pwaye nu sum.’”
And said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith to them, Yes: have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 Jesus el fahsr lukelos ac som liki siti uh nu Bethany, ac mongla we ke fong sac.
And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there.
18 Toang na in len tok ah, ke Jesus el folokla nu in siti uh, el masrinsralla.
Now in the morning as he was returning into the city, he was hungry.
19 El liye soko sak fig su tu sisken innek uh ac el kuhfla nu kac, tusruktu wangin fahko kac, a sra mukena. Na el fahk nu sin sak soko ah, “Kom ac fah tiana sifil isus fahko!” In kitin pacl ah na sak soko ah uli. (aiōn g165)
And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Mwet tumal lutlut elos liye ma inge, ac elos arulana fwefela kac. Ac elos siyuk, “Fuka tuh sak fig soko inge arulana sa in uli?”
And when the disciples saw [it], they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered!
21 Na Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kowos fin lulalfongi na ac tia alolo, kowos ac ku in oru ma nga oru nu sin sak fig soko inge. Ac tia ma inge mukena, a kowos ac ku pac in fahk nu sin eol soko inge, ‘Mukuiyak ac srola nu in meoa uh,’ na ac srola.
Jesus answered and said to them, Verily I say to you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig-tree, but also, if ye shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 Fin oasr lulalfongi lowos, ma nukewa ma kowos siyuk kac in pre lowos uh kowos ac eis.”
And all things whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 Jesus el foloko nu in Tempul; ac ke el luti, mwet tol fulat ac mwet matu elos tuku nu yorol ac siyuk sel, “Ma ya ku lom in oru ma inge? Su sot ku ingan nu sum uh?”
And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things; and who gave thee this authority?
24 Na Jesus el fahk, “Nga ac siyuk suwos mwe siyuk sefanna, ac kowos fin ku in topuk, na nga ac fahkot lah ma ya ku ma nga orekmakin in oru ma inge uh.
And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Ku lal John in baptaisi mwet uh tuku ya me — ma sin God, ku ma sin mwet uh?” Elos mutawauk in asiyuki inmasrlolos, “Mea kut ac fahk uh? Kut fin fahk mu, ‘Ma sin God,’ na el ac ange, ‘Ac efu kowos ku tia lulalfongel John?’
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, if we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 A kut fin fahk mu, ‘Ma sin mwet uh,’ na kut ac sangeng ke ma mwet ac oru nu sesr, mweyen elos nukewa lulalfongi mu John el sie mwet palu.”
But if we shall say, From men; we fear the people: for all hold John as a prophet.
27 Ke ma inge elos topuk Jesus ac fahk, “Kut tia etu.” Na el fahk nu selos, “Fin ouinge, nga ac tia pac fahk nu suwos lah ma ya ku luk in oru ma inge uh.”
And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Na mea kowos nunku ke sramsram se inge? Oasr wen luo nutin mwet se. El som nu yurin el su matu ac fahk, ‘Wen nutik, fahla ac orekma ke ima in grape uh misenge.’
But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go, work to-day in my vineyard.
29 Ac wen sac fahk, ‘Nga ac tia som,’ a tok el aolla nunak lal ac som.
He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went.
30 Na papa sac som nu yurin wen se ma fusr ac fahk oapana nu sel, na wen sac fahk, ‘Aok, papa, nga ac som,’ a el tiana som.
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
31 Su kac sin wen luo ah oru ma lungse lun papa sac?” Na elos fahk, “Wen se ma matu ah.” Ouinge Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, mwet eisani tax ac mutan kosro uh ac ku in utyak nu in Tokosrai lun God meet liki kowos.
Which of the two did the will of [his] father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Tuh John Baptais el tuku nu yuruwos ac akkalemye ouiyen moul pwaye, ac kowos tia lulalfongel; a mwet eisani tax ac mutan kosro elos lulalfongel. Kowos ne liye ma inge a toko kowos tiana ekulla nunak lowos in lulalfongel.”
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Na Jesus El fahk, “Lohng pac pupulyuk se inge. Oasr ima in grape se lun mwet kacto se. El kuhlasak, ac pukanak luf se mwe itat wain, na el musaela nien soan se. Tukun ma inge el sang ima se inge nu sin kutu mwet in karingin, ac el som liki facl sac.
Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:
34 Ke sun pacl in korsrani grape uh, el supwala mwet kulansap lal nu yurin mwet karingin ima uh in eis ip lal ke fokin ima uh.
And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 Mwet karingin ima sac sruokya mwet kulansap inge — srungulak sie, uniya sie, ac tungalak sie.
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Na mwet kacto sac sifilpa supwala mwet kulansap pus liki meet, ac mwet karingin ima sac oru nu selos oapana elos oru meet ah.
Again he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.
37 Na tok, el supwala wen natul sifacna nu yorolos. In nunak lal el mu, ‘Pwayena elos ac sunakin wen se nutik inge.’
But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 Tusruktu, ke mwet karingin ima uh liye wen sac, elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, ‘Wen se nutin mwet kacto sac pa inge. Fahsru kut unilya, na ima se inge ac fah ma lac lasr!’
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 Ouinge elos sruokilya, sisella liki ima sac, ac unilya.”
And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
40 Na Jesus el siyuk, “Mwet se la ima sac fin tuku, mea el ac oru nu sin mwet karingin ima sac?”
When therefore the Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 Na elos fahk, “Kalem lah el ac uniya mwet koluk inge, ac sang ima sac nu sin kutu pac mwet in karingin, su ac fah sang ip lal ke fokin ima uh in pacl fal.”
They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Na Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Ya kowos soenna rit in Ma Simusla, ‘Eot se ma mwet musa uh sisla, Pa yohk sripa oemeet uh. Leum pa oru ma inge uh; Fuka lupan usrngukiya in liye!’”
Jesus saith to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 Na Jesus el fahk pac nu selos, “Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos: Tokosrai lun God ac fah itukla liki kowos, ac itukyang nu sin mwet su ac orala fahko pwaye.” [
Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.
44 Kutena mwet su putatla nu fin eot se inge ac fah musalsalu mano. Ac eot se inge fin putatla nu fin sie mwet, manol ac fah pusraksrakelik.]
And whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 Ke mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee elos lohng kas in pupulyuk lun Jesus inge, elos etu lah el kaskas kaclos.
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
46 Ouinge elos srike in sruokilya, tusruktu elos sangeng sin un mwet uh, mweyen mwet uh pangon mu Jesus el sie mwet palu.
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
